Concrete Coatings Care About More Than Cracks

The natural answer for old, damaged, or weather-beaten concrete is to repair the surface with a concrete coating. But coating concrete solves more problems than cracks.

Applied in different forms, concrete coating can help repair damage due to age or wear and add extended life to the surface. But coating a surface can also suspend the need to remove and replace concrete as well, saving things like time, cost, further damage to adjoining property, and landfill space.

Concrete Coatings

When old concrete is removed and new is placed, the new surface is just as vulnerable to stains, cracks and salt harm as the old was. And old and crushed concrete is taken to a landfill site. By using a concrete coating instead of replacing a surface or slab, resistance to these detriments is added, without making a mess and costing extra money. Not to mention, concrete coating can make any driveway or walkway look good, adding value to the property in the long run. And the environment benefits.

Concrete coatings protect the concrete surface from salt and fertilizers with a non-porous finish, so stains will wash off. This formula also protects from UV rays, so colors will not fade or change hue over time. On the other side of the coin, cold weather will have little effect as well, since acrylic coatings are flexible and durable. When concrete coatings are applied they adhere and bond with the surface, and when freezing or thawing causes a surface to shift, the coating will move with it. After nearly 40 years of use, concrete coatings have protection covered.
